Cthulhu Cookies

December 18th, 2007

Last weekend Lakota got the chance to bake cookies with my Mom. My mom didn’t have the normal cookie recipes as the recipe book still seems to be packed away someplace, so she got some pre-made cookies. Some with reindeer, some with Santa.

They were pretty basic and already had a design, but that did not stop the girls from decorating them some more. Once they were cooled and I got a chance to grab one I could not believe my eyes!

It was not the image of Jesus of the Virgin Mary that most would assume to see the visage of on something christmasy, it was none other then the Thing That Should Not Be himself… Dread Cthulhu!

Superstitions

November 29th, 2007

Finding a four leaf clover will bring luck.As I mentioned before (Superstisous?) I have recently gotten a few books on superstitions, and I’ve finally gotten around to gleaning some worthy information about them and putting them up on my main page. While there is not much there yet you may find an interest in what I have gotten.

Currently I have all the days of the week, as well as the magickal uses of saliva. More article are planned, epsecially a page on clovers as I have a knack in finding them and likely some bit about luck in general.

If you have a few moments then click on through and check it out. The main index on superstitions can be found here: Traditional Beliefs about Superstitions

Gas from a Stone

November 26th, 2007

A woman claiming to be able to use magick to be able to produce gas from stone was given two head of cattle, three buffaloes, money, a car and a piece of land from Mugabe and other cabinet ministers, promising in return to use spells to produce the diesel. The Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe must really feel like an ass now that she was not able to give what was promised.

Rather then calling up some super natural powers to get the gas she promised, she called some oil tankers and simply had it piped in…

The Gay Ghost of the George Hotel

November 26th, 2007

Someone recently sent me a humorous article from gaywired.com about a group of paranormal investigators that looked into some ghostly activity at The George Hotel in North Norfolk (UK).

The article reads like every other ghastly investigation and mentions the normal EMF meters, laser thermometers, camcorders, and of course night vision. It talks about whether or not specks of light were orbs or dust, hair standing on end, and even the tugging on belts and hair. Ya know, the typical ghost hunter type stuff.

Near the end they talk about a waiter that when attempting to get into the dry storage room some ghost starts yanking on the zipper of his pants. Enough to give a snicker, right?

You betcha! Especially when the article ends with the undead culprit being a male that used to work in the bakery…apparently trying to get a piece of tail, even in the afterlife.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to give it a go on some reality show for the playboy channel, or maybe even Gaywired.com. While I’m not all that interested in homosexual activity, though ghostly activity is something I like, so I would like to know the outcome of such an event ;) Of course, I’d not mind finding a straight ghost willing to tug on my trousers…

School and Pagan Holidays

November 13th, 2007

Marshall University, a college in Huntington, W.Va., recently became the first college in the country to grant pagan students excused absences for celebrating pagan holidays.

While many colleges have policies allowing students to miss any class for religious reasons, no other school has recognized paganism by specifically granting students permission to miss class for pagan holidays, The Associated Press reported.

I’m simply thrilled by this news, as it’s one step closer to making the various pagan faiths once again mainstream…something that has not been done for generations. And while I am not really sure of the specifics of it all or which holidays they are allowed to miss, I really do feel that this is a step in the correct direction. Now if all goes well other schools will follow suit, and then maybe rather then closing the school down for the Christian holidays they will close them for government holidays (veterans day, in service, boss’s day, etc) and then allow the students on an individual level leave when they need to observe something for religious reasons.

Luckily many of the holidays are pretty close to one another, if not on the same day, so such a transition should not be all that hard of one.
